Fuck Yeah RA Raccoon: Door Dec's →

fyeahraraccoon: Well Raccoons what are your door decs this year- As previously discussed on this blog I know that the fall door decs are always the most elaborate. Here are some random ideas I’m thinking of. I’d totally be digging some Scott Pilgrim door decs, I feel Harry Potter will be a popular theme…

Roommate Remedies?

unbreakablevolition: So, I was wondering if anyone had any insight on when to come out to your roommate in college. Should I wait till I meet and get to know him or should I tell him before we get a chance to actually meet and get to know each other so i can quickly change roommates if necessary?

I suddenly want to do Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World...

sarcasticsimonsays: But I still like my crazy idea of doing celebrity mugshots. What to do?

livingbyday asked: Hi! Do you or anyone have any witty ideas for a door dec theme?!

sarahbriii: If you’re an RA follow me! and of course I’ll follow back =]

sarahbriii: I’m making different colored mail boxes for all my residents. Each mail box has real envelopes coming out of them with the residents name on them. My idea is that I can leave welcome notes sticking out of the envelopes, and then if I need to tell the resident something and they are not around, I can stick a note out of the envelope. =] The fact that I love making door decs so much...

mysoulwhispers-recovery: my living situation is changing at university. i have a job as a freshman mentor during the academic year; originally only resident assistants lived on the floors they worked, but our resident life office decided that it is imperative for freshman mentors to live on the same floor that they work… Honey, you might want to evaluate if you are in a good place to...

sarcasticsimonsays: I’ve gotten to the point with some friends that I just can’t find a way to enjoy their presence anymore. Being a Resident Assistant has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and the people I’ve shared this experience with are some of my newest and could possibly be some of my greatest… I think we’ve all had a moment like this.

bizzymac: So, this one time I decided to come up with a crazy idea: I wanted residents to throw whipped creams pies at my face for $1 and then take that money and give it to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.. which is near and dear to my heart. We raised a smidge over $305. In an hour. With pies that… Congrats!

I found a navy blue sock that I didn’t recognise. I was my size, but I was pretty sure it wasn’t my sock. We do our laundry…

ilivephotography: Well thats unfortunate. Um, no. That is and will always be a strange request to me.
